Social Ecosystem

We live in a more ‘connected world’, and very few organizations can ignore this growing trend. The Global University Alliance (GUA) is an open group of academics with the ambition to provide both business and academia with state-of-the-art insights into the phenomena of the Social Ecosystem, and the usage of it.

What many organizations are not realizing is that this is not only about a temporary technical shift, nor a business or economic shift. This is more of a humanitarian shift, and that shift affects technology, business and economies.

With the Social Ecosystem work in the Global University Alliance, we promote a new way of thinking, working and modelling and governance. The Social Ecosystem concepts are built into the different Enterprise Standards and then shared and published as an open standard in the LEADing Practice community. Thereby we enable all organizations to take forward these common best and leading principles to identify, create and realize value.
